Go Endeavour !

With great gusto, Endeavour took off this evening after waiting patiently for several weeks. Originally scheduled for June 13th, STS127 had to wait out a repair and several weather scrubs before making it to orbit tonite. I know the crew is happy, and the launch support teams are pleased to not have to re-schedule their lives (again) to try yet again… It is quite an effort each attempt, but well worth it.
